The Pursuit of Certainty

Individuals often seek certainty through external sources, believing it to be a feeling that can be obtained from outside themselves. This reliance on external validation can lead to anxiety when faced with uncertainty, as it creates feelings of restlessness and doubt. Instead of looking outward, the focus should shift inward to cultivate an internal sense of certainty, which brings a sturdiness that allows for a more grounded emotional state. Establishing this internal certainty can empower individuals to navigate life's unpredictable nature more effectively.
